PA says "the One features more natural, vivid colors. We'd say the Nexus 5 has a slight yellowish tint and looks very slightly washed out."
Then I saw the battery life and the audio output comparison graph.

The conclusion doesnt match the comparison. The One won ,Build, Screen,Sound,Battery,Interface/Apps(Sense) and only lost benchmarks and camera which is debatable as the One is still king in low light and as Reviewer says f the lag on the N5 means you will probably miss photo's in real life use.

HTC One may not have all the bells and whistles of Snapdragon 800 and KitKat (for 30 days only btw which isn't a long time if they succeed), but, for my usage, it is a much better fit than the Nexus 5. HTC did a really good job here and all I hope for their next flagship is that they focus a lot more on the camera.

sorry look bad in which part do u mean?
in mainly part one beats nexus 5.
-build quality and designe
-bit better screen

before that one porchased the best phone 2013 in to many site liketeck-radar / pocket-lint / pcadvisor / t3 gadget award / phonedog and .....

I think Nexus 5 is the best for its price tag ! but I prefer an aluminium build with better battery and multimedia experiece plus I think htc sense looks more clean than the stock UI , but that is just my opinion . Besides , Htc one still still one of the best phones out there . Can't wait for the 4.4 update .

Well, I haven't tried the N5 yet, but the HTC One is a great phone. Here in Denmark it has been running Android 4.3 for weeks, and 4.4. was promised within a month, if I remember correctly. Then we have the price: here the N5 will be around 4000 crowns, and the One is 4200, so no big difference there. The Ones build is absolutely stunning compared to the N5, and I'm not convinced that the camera is not better. If you take boomsound and the same battery capacity into consideration, I really don't think the N5 wins. Not mentioning that you can convert the HTC One into a google play edition (if you like hacking a little) and get the 4.4. update quick. The only thing clearly in favor of the N5 is the Snapdragon 800, but just 8 months ago everyone was praising the 600 the same way.

the conclusion you've come to is baffling. is it impossible for you here at phonearena to acknowledge that slightly older phones aren't always considered inferior? You yourself gave the One a considerable number of advantages, yet in the end it's not good enough because it's been out less than a year? I implore you to stop pandering to fanboys and actually give a fair comparison for once.

The conclusion and the actual review never met in the arena. This is the first review I have read that said the Nexus 5 call quality was anything other than muffled and hissing on speaker. The conclusion dealt with comparing the Nexus 5 improvements over the Nexus 4 and not the HTC One. This was poorly written and executed as a true head to head to the two phones on display in the article. Realistically the people that care about the ROM will be rooting and adding custom ROMs anyway and the CPU speed difference will only be noticeable to someone gaming on the device. The Nexus 5 right now is only beating the iPhone and Nexus 4(other than price point for everyone else).

Two best phones for this holiday season are the LG G2 and still HTC One, both also have amazing carrier pricing going on. Sammy is having upgrade issues thanks to their bloatware and fat memory hogging touch wiz, along with a higher PP.

i love my htc one looks great ,£200 more to buy than the nexus 5 .
please don't put build quality down when describing the one as they are p_ss poorly put together even by htc own admission they have had big problems ,now i love the phone screen the beautifully milled body the lovely drilled top and bottom speaker grills but no quality control on these phones its a crap shoot if you get a good one.
ee have replaced 4 for me now and still waiting to get one were the screen does not sit higher than the speaker grills or visa versa ,the holes on one looked loike they had been cut out with a craft knife all of these phones have been inspected by ee and they have agreed manufacturing faults with every one.
this is my fifth htc phone (desire,sensation,wildfire for the little lady)never ever had probs before hope i get a good one.
the photos do have a purple ting and very grainy if you try to enlarge power but is fiddley so is volume button the screen and sound quality are just awsome i like the blink feed and love the camera apps zoe ,hdr and slow mo loads of settings plus google now getting so much better.
dont put build quality down as a plus put materials used are
